i know it's lame

All I have are bad habits. I accumulate them like gems, they are my precious. Everyone has perks, something that sets them apart from the rest, something that says, "Yes, I exist, I'm here," and after I disappear, I would have already stained your memories with what distinguishes me. I will be remembered as such. It seems dramatic, but let me lure you in.

There are plenty of bad habits that we can rearrange, so much so that they won't affect our lives too much. But this one is a tough one. It crawls into your skin, takes control of you, and will make you guess where you belong,between what did you intend to do, and what did actually happen. You will look at everything from the outside, never knowing if it's your imagination that tricked you, or if it's people who know this weakness trying to make it work for them. Nurturing it by inadvertence, until it devours you whole. Didn't you guess it? It's your own self that works against you, sabotaging everything. It's the worst of all bad habits. No matter what could be good, trust me, it will work against all odds to make it bad.

How do I explain that to people who don't believe in the "deep down"? There is no explanation, I know that much, for I am one of them. So, where does it come from? How do I manage to make every slight detail in this life go astray? The only thing I know I cannot sabotage, is my final death. It will come without warning me, without asking me, it will just take me. Strangely, it will be a relief, the tired, string threads of lonely questions that my life has been surrounded by for a long time ago, the final stroke onto a painting full of steep brushes. No more asking myself what I could have done better, what on earth got into me, for I will be underneath it, the earth in her narcissism will finally control what was disturbing the harmony above her,in her generosity keep a wounded soul from hurting herself.

Not really sure what you mean by "the tired...time ago" part, so I guessed.

No more asking myself what I could have done better, or what on earth gothad gotten into me, for I will be underneath it, t all. The earth, in her narcissism, will finally control what was disturbing the harmony above her, and in her generosity, keep a wounded soul from hurting herself.

Pretty sure "narcissism" isn't the right word here, but also not sure what you really want to say, so I left it alone.

Feedback

Overall, great job! Grammatically, each sentence is fine, though the flow between some sentences are a bit unnatural.

Not really sure "your own self" can be considered a bad habit though? Since "habit" is something you do (aka verb), while "you" is a noun. Perhaps elaborating on what aspect specifically would make more sense logically.

Not sure if this is what you really think or simply to practice English, but hope you're doing ok now regardless.

hi
by tired stringing threads i meant a vicious cycle, and for narcissism i wanted to metaphorically the need of the earth to protect the living above her and herself from a destructive soul(a soul who hurt herself, others, basically everything around her).
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Ps.1: the bad habit is selfsabotage, and with time it's spreads to everything around this soul.
Ps.2: writing even if it's bad writing is an outlet for my bad feeling and thoughts, when am done, I feel better. Thank you for asking, and have a good one!

Always capitalize the first word of a sentence or title, and always capitalize "I" for first person pronoun, unless you have a deliberate reason to leave it uncapitalized (in poetry, for example).

Everyone has pequirks, something that sets them apart from the rest, something that says, "Yes, I exist, I'm here," and after I disappear, I would have already stained your memories with what distinguishes me.

"Perks" are usually used in reference to a benefit or advantage of some situation, such as "office perks". "Quirks" are used to describe a unique, sometimes strange, characteristic of a person or thing.

It crawls into your skin, takes control of you, and will make you guess where you belong, between what did you intended to do, and what did actually happened.

Using the past tense of the verbs are more colloquial. Using "did <VERB>" is correct for past tense, but is often used to emphasize an action.

Nurturing it by inadvertencetly, until it devours you whole.

"Inadvertence," while grammatically correct, is much less commonly used than the adverb and adjective forms.

Strangely, it will be a relief, the tired, string threads of lonely questions that my life has been surrounded by for a long time ago, the final stroke onto a painting full of steep brushstrokes.

"string threads" is not commonly used, as "string" is not a commonly used adjective to describe threads. "Stringy" threads would be more acceptable.
"Brushes" refers to the tool used to paint, and "brushstrokes" refers to the resulting painted texture.

No more asking myself what I could have done better, what on earth got into me, for I will be underneath it, the earth in her narcissism will finally control what was disturbing the harmony above her, and in her generosity keep a wounded soul from hurting herself.

Feedback

This work appears to be written in a more intentionally poetical style, and so some of the rules that we normally apply to grammar could be stretched or ignored. For example, authors could opt to use a particular archaic or uncommon wording to emphasize a particular cadence or tempo of the text, or to use word choices that stand out as unusual ("accumulate", "stained") in order to invoke some particular imagery or emotion.
